Raton Intermediate

Summary:

Raton Intermediate is an elementary school in Raton, New Mexico, serving grades 3-6 with a total enrollment of 234 students. The school has seen fluctuating performance over the years, but in the most recent school year, it ranked 153 out of 433 elementary schools in the state, earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Raton Intermediate's academic performance is generally on par with or slightly above the state average in Language Arts and Science, but lags behind in Mathematics. Interestingly, the school's male students and Hispanic students tend to perform better than their female and White counterparts. One bright spot is the exceptional performance of the school's English Language Learner (ELL) students, who ranked 13 out of 203 elementary schools in the state. Despite the high poverty rate, with 48.29% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, Raton Intermediate has maintained a relatively low student-to-teacher ratio, which may be a contributing factor to its overall academic performance.

Raton Intermediate's performance has shown an improving trend over the years, with its statewide ranking climbing from 304 in 2018-2019 to 150 in 2022-2023. However, the significant performance gaps between different student subgroups suggest that the school may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address these disparities. By continuing to analyze and address these areas, Raton Intermediate can further enhance its educational outcomes and provide a more equitable learning environment for all its students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
